Hey guys, been thinking a lot lately. I’m very intrigued by the idea of pursuing real estate investing full time. I’m nowhere close to financial independence yet, but I’m curious if anyone here has quit their W2 to go all in on real estate? Would love to hear what you did to make it work. Thanks! You guys are awesome

FYI - I currently own 8 units in central IL so would have a little bit of traction

Ryan, I am in the same boat. But if you do quit your W2 there are other ways of acquiring properties without getting qualified for a loan. Check out creative financing online and find a creative financing friendly wholesaler in your area.
